~*Mystifying Love*~ *Ch.2* ~Rest And Relaxation~ *MORNING* It was a fairly sunny day. Just a few hanging clouds here and there. The birds were singing and the breeze was warm. Inuyasha was laying in a tree still asleep. A light breeze blew by and tickled his ear. It twitched a few times before he actually woke up. He yawned and inhaled the fresh air. He opened his eyes and they lightly twinkled in the light. He sniffed the air and noticed a very familiar smell. It smelled like that 'strange' food Kagome would always bring from her time. He hopped down from the tree and walked towards the smell. He noticed everyone was sitting in the hut eating…including…Kagome. His eyes sparkled and a warm feeling came over him once he saw her bright smile. He managed to keep a strait face and walked in. "Good Morning 'sleepy head'! How'd ya sleep?" Kagome asked smiling "Heh! Fine, I guess…aren't you supposed to be doing something with you're friends?" He asked "Well…I WAS but I changed my mind. I decided to come here and give everyone some breakfast before they go off to do whatever" "Oh" "You want some Inuyasha? It's good!" "YEA! IT'S REAWY GOOT! YOU HABTO EAT SOME INUYASHA!!" Shippou said with a full mouth "Hah! Sure. I am a little hungry" He said taking a seat "Here ya go! Enjoy!" Kagome said handing him some food with a big smile He looked at it strangely, but ate it anyway. After everyone was finished eating, they all stood up, looked at Kagome and said… "AH! THAT'S WAS 'SOME' BREAKFAST!" "Thanx!" Kagome said smiling Then they all went off to do their own thing. Inuyasha noticed Kagome cleaning everything up and asked… "Uh…need a hand?" "Um…sure. Just hand me those plates"—'Inuyasha offered to help clean. What is going on?' Kagome looked at Inuyasha VERY confused. "What? What's with the odd stare?" "Uh…weren't you going to see 'someone' today?" "I canceled with him" "Him?" she said REALLY lost "Yea. I wanted to ask what's his face to fix up my tetsusaiga. But since it's my personal day today, I'll just use this time to relax" "Oh! ~_~'* ahaha!!!…." she said blushing BRIGHT red "Why are you blushing?? It's not like I said anything 'wrong'!!" "Oh it's nothing!I-I just remembered something" "Ok…." He said confused "So…heh…Well…I'm gonna go and 'relax' by the lake. If you wanna come, you can" Kagome said picking up her stuff "You wouldn't mind if I came???" "Not at all. You said you wanted to relax. Maybe you could come relax with me" she smiled "Ok. I guess it wouldn't be so bad. I do deserve relaxation after all those fights I've been in" he said crossing his arms Kagome just smiled walked out the hut with him. As they were walking, there was an awkward silence. 'Why do I feel like Inuyasha knows something I don't know? I mean, we've had quiet moments, but this is just plain creepy!' she thought while looking at Inuyasha from the corner of her eye. "When are we gonna get there??? It feels like we've been walkin for hours!! Hey…why AM I walking anyway??…we can get there MUCH faster if you just get on my back!!" "Calm down Inuyasha! Just a little more! …eh...um…Inuyasha…?" "Yea…?" he said looking at her "Why are you so quiet today?" "What kind of question is that?? You should know me by now!! I'm not exactly the type of person to start a conversation!" "Yea…but, you're being 'strangely' quiet. Are you hiding something??" "º_º'* NOOO!!!!!" He said blushing "*GASP* YES YOU ARE!!!!! WHAT IS IT??? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING???!!!!" "@___@**…I'M NOT HIDING ANYTHING!! NOW CAN WE JUST DROP IT!!!!?" "…FINE!!! … We're here anyway. If you still wanna stay you can. I'm going to go change. Don't even THINK about peeking at me!!!!" "Why do you always 'assume' that I 'wanna' look???" "Cuz you're a guy. And boys will be boys. Now wait here" "Keh! …Whatever…. -_-*" he said walking a little more towards the lake So Kagome went somewhere to change. 20 min later she walked up to where her stuff was. She noticed Inuyasha was still there. The only thing on her mind was… 'What IS he hiding????' Kagome walked passed Inuyasha and grabbed her bag "It took you that long to put that little thing on?" he said pointing to her bathing suit "I didn't take that long!" she said putting a towel on the ground and taking out a small radio and tanning lotion "What's all this stuff for?" he said picking up the lotion and the small radio "The radio is to relax me and the lotion is to help me tan. Now gimme the lotion, I need it" she said putting her hand out in front of him He gave her the bottle of lotion and held on to the radio. He stared at every corner confusingly "*Sigh* -_-* You turn it on right here" she said turning it on "WHAT THE HELL?? º_º'*" he said in shock at the small contraption "Hahaha!! ^_^*" "How does this relax you??" "I dunno…it just does…" she said putting her sunglasses on and laying down About 10 sec later she felt someone breathing on her face. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a confused-looking Inuyasha. "*sigh* What is it now?" "Why are you doin this here? Can't you do this in your time?" "No. Because in my time, it's raining and over here it's sunny. Get it?" "Righ….why am I just sitting here again?..." "You wanna join me?" "To do?" "What I'm doin. Relaxing" "Ok whatever…" "OK. I figured you WOULD join me so I bought something for you. Put this on, then you can join me" she said handing him a pair of swimming trunks (not a speedo!) "WHAT!!!!" "Just put it on!…" "OK, OK! …sheesh…" he said getting undressed "º___º'* AAAHHHHH!! Inuyasha!! Don't change here!!!!!!!" she said blushing a crimson red and moving back a little "OK!!! Calm down! I'll go somewhere else!!" he said walking to a bush to change '*ERR!!!* Inuyasha can be so rude sometimes!!!!!! >_<**' Kagome thought Kagome laid down again and closed her eyes. 10 minutes later she heard someone walking towards her. She opened her eyes and looked up and noticed it was Miroku. She sat up and looked at him. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be taking a break?" she asked putting her sunglasses on top of her head. "Yea, I am", he said smirking "I just came over here to ask you a favor" "What is it?" "Here. Hold these for me until I get back. Whatever you do, don't let Inuyasha know you have them" he said handing her 2 jewel shards "When did you get these??" she asked looking at them "I found them in a wolf demon's den last night" "What were you doing in a wolf demon's den?" "It's a long story. I'll explain later" "Ok…I'll hang on to them for you until you get back. And I promise not to tell Inuyasha" "Thank you so much Kagome. I really appreciate this" "No problem! ^_^*" she smiled "Kagome I- HEY! What are you doing here??" "*Snicker*" Miroku laughed when he saw Inuyasha "…. Don't say a word monk…. what the hell are you doing here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be 'hittin' on some women or somethin???" "Inuyasha calm down. He just came to see how we were doing" "Heh? Are you sure??" "Yes. I just stopped by to say hi. I'm going back to the village to meet up with some…um *ahem* 'friends' of mine" Miroku said smirking "Keh! Friends…sure…" Inuyasha said walking up to Kagome "Anyway, I must be going now. Farewell and I will see you again soon" And so Miroku walked back to the village. Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome and said… "What now?" "Lotion! ^_^*" She poured some on her hand and told Inuyasha to lay on his stomach. He did as she said and soon felt something so good, his body completely let loose and he just laid there in complete silence. 'Oh lord! Her hands work wonders! I could've really used this after a LONG battle...but I guess this is fine...mmmmm...this feels soooo good right now...*sigh*...' he thought while kagome was putting lotion on his back. A few seconds later, he didn't feel anything anymore. "Why'd ya stop?" "Hello!! I came here to relax, not put lotion on you!!" -- 'Even though I wouldn't mind doing that again considering how good you look right about now!!!" she said/thought looking at him and smiling "-_-*" "W-Why'd ya ask…?" "Nothing…forget it…forget I even mentioned it…" he said folding his arms up and leaning his head on them Kagome just looked at him and laid down. ~*~ Wanna know what happens next??? Read on!
